The purpose of the vCATA Annual Clinical Symposium is to enhance the knowledge of athletic trainers through presentations with a wide variety of topics and to update core competency skills. At the conclusion of the symposium, attendees will be able to take the knowledge gained from a wide variety of presentations and apply them immediately to practice for improved competency and patient care outcomes. Specifically, the participants will be able to:

1. Describe anterior interval scarring in patients with chronic anterior knee pain.

2. Describe the unique differences between pediatric and adult injuries.

3. Recognize special populations at risk for posterior shoulder instabilities.

4. Recognize worrisome patellar instability risk factors that may portend a worse diagnosis.
